Well Simon, here you hit the point, and I´m very glad that you did so, because there were a certain tendency in the postings that I didn´t like at all. I hope that this is a forum for everyone that knows how to post without being disrespectfull, and that newcommers (like me) don´t have to learn a lot of unwritten laws or codex to be accepted. I´m sorry if I were to harsh in my opinions on GK, but I do find it very difficult to take a thread like this on a flamenco forum in serious. But don´t worry Miguel, I´ll post a bit more elegant in the future, because I actually understand your worries, because it´s so easy to throw dirt in everyones eyes on an internet forum But back to the discussion: The pure/nonpure topic will always be there. It´s everywhere in the flamenco, and we´ll always discuss it, so lets discuss it (but not all the time!!!!! please). I followed the flamenco subject on the musicstudies at the university of Granada, and one of the main parts were the fusion of flamenco with other kinds of music during the past 2 - 300 years. There I learnt that flamenco has always fusioned, that it actually is one big fusion. So in my point of view, the puro discussion is silly, and I totally agree with the post by Florian on page 2, about the 40th 70th etc. In the end it´s all about what we like etc. I´m so lucky that I like most historical variations of the flamenco (not flamencoopera!!). I like very much Niña de los peines con Ramon Montoya, I like Sabicas, Niño Ricardo, Paco, Sanlucar, Camaron, Lole y Manuel (that´s not accepted as flamenco) Morente, Nuñez etc. But I must admit that I hate GK. I´ve always hated them, and will probably always hate them. But that´s just me, and I´ve no problem with people liking them, if they could please stop wanting me to like that horrible music. And again, If you are in the mood for Rumberos, take a close look at Niña Pastory, because thats good (IMHO) Well it´s cold and rainy here in Andalucia, so I´ll go upstairs, light the chimney, and prepare the sides for bending on no3 , a negra. So be nice to each other Anders
